Jay Williams just posted his FEC report showing the challenger as having raised $9,764, spent $3,581, and left with $5970 cash on hand. And ninety cents.

Who helped fund this effort? Dem Chair Ann Tornberg was in with $500. Rapid City Dem Jay Davis gave $500 (It must be a Jay thing). Williams’ wife Carol was in with $1023, another Williams was in with $2600, and there were a few more donations to help him “almost” reach 10k.

I’ll bet after a few short weeks Jay will be looking forward to getting his SDDP obligation done as just being someone with a heartbeat to run against Thune. All those lonely roads, miles and gas put on his new Chevy Volt knowing he won’t be getting much support.
